The Colchester Film Society is proud to launch its prestigious new TIFF: Film Circuit screenings at The Marigold Cultural Centre, kicking off the series with Baz Luhrmann’s acclaimed documentary event, EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert.
Serving as a spectacular follow-up to his 2022 biopic, the Oscar-nominated director delivers a mesmerizing, hybrid concert film built from a treasure trove of recently unearthed, painstakingly restored performance footage and a forgotten 45-minute audio interview of Elvis in his own words. Rather than a traditional biography, Luhrmann creates a stunning "cinematic dreamscape" that focuses heavily on the King's legendary 1970s Las Vegas residencies, capturing the raw energy, charisma, and unmatched showmanship of an icon at the absolute peak of his powers. Brimming with vibrant musical arrangements and unprecedented historical intimacy, EPiC is the definitive big-screen tribute to the King of Rock 'n' Roll and the perfect, high-energy masterpiece to premiere the Marigold's premier screening series for local film and music lovers.
